Dear LAREy: A week to Level Up Your L.A.R.E. Prep in June

Dear LAREy,
I'm preparing for the L.A.R.E. Grading, Drainage, and Stormwater Management exam during the August administration. I am trying to stay motivated and build my confidence for this exam, but it can be hard to know where to focus my time. There's so much to cover, and I'd love a chance to learn from others, get practical tips, and make studying feel a little less overwhelming.

Are there any upcoming events that can help me prepare and stay on track?

Sincerely,
Ready to Prep Smarter
